Suriya is superb as Bodhi Dharman, a great saint and Aravind, a circus artiste. As the neighbouring country plans a bio war against India, it feels that Bodhi Dharman, who could prevent its attempts, should not be given life again. But they start to worship him after that.Ĭut to the present, China sends Dongli (Johnny Tri Nguyen), a modern day master of all skills taught by Bodhi Dharman, to India, as it comes to know that genetic engineering student Subha Srinivasan (Sruthi Haasan) has found circus artiste Aravind's (Suriya) DNA matches with that of Bodhi Dharman. There he imparts his skills to the Chinese, who learn them with all interest, and present death to him in return. Bodhi Dharman (Suriya), a prince who is an expert at martial arts, medicine and 'nokku varmam' (or hypnotism) was sent to China with a purpose. The story starts in 6th century AD, when a part of Tamil Nadu was ruled by Pallava kings. Though a preachy tone at places could have been avoided, there is no denying that '7aum Arivu is one of the biggest entertainers of the year. The film takes us to the era of our valorous forefathers, explains their greatness, brings us back to the present, entertains us and ends up giving a message. Precisely that is the case of '7aum Arivu', A R Murugadoss' magnum opus starring Suriya, produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin. And if blended with history with the carefulness of a master chef, it could result in a delightful dish, sorry, entertainer. Somewhere in its bottom lies a pinch of truth.
